At what point would you say they were more than a C level west coast group?
Prodeje of SOUTH CENTRAL CARTEL on beef with Prodigy and Havoc of Mobb Deep over having the same name.

Yeah. Anything is possible. I think it’s more likely to be a coincidence, than Mobb Deep heard about some local LA group and decided to steal their names
You must have never not heard N Gatz We Trust
Are you saying that was when?
A level? B level?
I liked both of their albums even though they OD'ed on the conspiracy theory shyt on the 2nd one.
Fred.
Yup
scc been around since 87...Mobb were featured in the Source in July 91 as Hav and P.
SCC was a C level west coast rap group who didn’t drop an album until 92, and it wasn’t on a major label.
South Central Madness is the debut studio album by American rap group South Central Cartel. It was released on January 22, 1992 through Pump Records with distribution via Quality Records.
Mobb were right to confront them for stealing their names and SCC was shook, according to Prodigy who never lied or exaggerated about anything.
their first album with havoc n prodeje dropped around that time
Guru Once Kept Mobb Deep & South Central Cartel From Brawling
Guru once had to broker peace between Mobb Deep and South Central Cartel in the early '90s.
they rereleased everything once they got fully on at def jam
dj premier has no dog in the fight he told what happened
I really think this was one of those weird coincidences. They came out around the same time, so would've came up with names around the same time. Plus you weren't really learning individual names like that around that time. When I learned Mobb's names, i was like nah that ain't right l, that's SCC. One of my friends was like - you remember Hit It From the Back, and Peer Pressure. Wait, that's them?
In all honesty, I think someone from each faction heard those words together and dubbed them.

Lol which is why Meek dropped the "Z". Meek from Task Force/Naam came home like why you running around with my name? And they were both managed by Charlie Mack...at different pojints. .Honestly, Meek could just used Meek or Meek Milly. No one ever referred him Meek Millz, and "Mill" sounds stupid
There was a Gucci Man in Philly too right?

Was it on a major label?
Was it getting play in NY?
The key here is whether they were big enough to have reached NY prior to 91 and be big enough that Mobb decided to steal their names. That doesn’t seem plausible to me, but I could be wrong.
mobb deep wasnt gettin play with the prophet poetic shyt in cali or texas..nikkas didnt know what the fukk nikkas or who them nikkas were until pac named dropped em...
same shyt u can argue about scc i can go at u with it ..
they were big enough for russell to sign em .. so hey
n scc got play in the south that murda squad tape replay value.. n gatz we trust got play
why because both albums feature southern artist..big mike n 3-2 ...n other artist we already was familiar with spice pac boss ice t eiht
Mobb were known before the Pac incident. And they were definitely national at the time of Hit Em Up. They came in the game around the same time, and their videos were on the same shows...at definitely the underground shows in the Northeast, so I would assume y'all watched Rap City and were familiar with them.
And Spice 1, Eiht and Ice would've known who Mobb were then, as well. They spent hella time in New York.
